FAQs

+ What package do you suggest for me?

Great question; we find so many couples aren’t sure of what package best suits their needs. The first place to start is to review our offerings page. From there, paired with the information we gather from our questionnaire (sent separately) and informal over the phone consultation call, we will provide our suggestions on the best package(s) to support you in your vision.

+ What are your rates?

Each and every quote we send it customized to each unique event. There are many reasons for this but the main considerations we look at prior to creating a customized proposal are: location, day-of on site support staff, professional vendor selections, level of support desired. Our starting rates for each package are noted in a welcome booklet (and here) that we send to all of our new inquiries.

+ How do we book your services?

We follow a series of steps when working with a new client, broken down by steps below are our series of engagements and communications prior to sending a customized proposal:

1- Contact Us. Reach out to us via the Contact tab on the main menu on our website. This contact forum gathers basic information to allow us to assess our availability for your special day.

2- Series of Emails. Once we receive your inquiry, we follow up with a series of emails: General Hello, Brochure and Packages Information, and if we are available for your date, a more comprehensive questionnaire to be completed by you, our prospective couple.

3- Questionnaire & Consultation Phone Call. When we receive the completed questionnaire, we set up an informal, over the phone consultation call that we like to call the “Meet & Greet.” This call is about 30 minutes and just helps all of us get to know one another better and assess if this seems like a good collaboration and fit for all parties involved.

4- Customized Proposal. We send a customized proposal to our couples following the consultation call which discusses rates and service offerings.

5- Booking. When all involved parties are excited to move forward we send a customized contract to be reviewed and signed by all respective parties. Following receipt of the signed contract, we then collect a deposit to secure the date and service.

6- That’s it! The contract outlines specifics of start dates and payment schedules. We always encourage our couples to reach out to us prior to the start date of service if anything should arise.

+ Do you plan more than just weddings?

Absolutely! Our backgrounds range from corporate retreats, high production yoga festivals, to surf camp organizations. We love an exciting opportunity, please feel free to reach out directly to hello@eventsbydaydream.com

+ Can we work together if we don't live in Tahoe?

Of course! In fact, most of our couples travel to Tahoe as their destination. Similarly, we have planned destination weddings outside of Tahoe and communicated remotely with our clients.

+ Will you book my vendors for me?

No. As you will enter a legally binding contract with your vendors, we do not negotiate or enter into contracts on your behalf. We are, however, happy to review contracts for you to see if we see any areas of concern. We do have some absolute favorite vendors that we are happy to refer to our booked clients if suggestions are preferred.

+ How far out should we book your services?

This depends, typically our full service clients are booking 12-18 months in advance. While Month-of (also considered Day-of in our industry) contracts begin variably 60-90 days prior to your wedding date, we suggest reaching out as soon as you’ve set a date. As we require (1) Lead planner on site day of and to manage communication leading up to, we assess our schedules and availability in advance so to not overbook.

+ What areas do you service?

We assess each inquiry on an individual basis. In the past we have planned weddings in Tahoe, Maine, Costa Rica, Greece (we love to travel!), so it is not always our local area. For travel outside of our Tahoe region we include travel expenses within our proposals.

+ Do you have a COVID-19 resource page?

Please find our page for updated COVID-19 resources here.

+ Can I call you anytime once I've booked your services?

We like to make ourselves readily available to our clients. With that said, our preferred means of communication oftentimes is email (we are a team, this allows many sets of eyes to review any planning changes or concerns). We also respectfully ask our clients to maintain business hours for non-emergent communication.

+ Do you offer A La Carte Day of Coordination services for 8-10 hours?

We are asked this one a lot! While we’d love to be a part of every beautiful celebration, we are unable to offer A La Carte Coordination. Typically we spend nearly 100 hours on Month-of Coordination for our clients; we begin working together months in advance and offer presence for both the rehearsal and the day-of. While it may seem we could show up and run the show on your behalf, we are perfectionists! Our name is tied to all of our events and because of this and the pride we take in our work, we can’t step in without being fully fluent in the details of your sacred day.
